He was 2-for-6 at the plate, hitting a double and scoring two runs, but it was his catch that caught attention.

"This is a guy who's been an infielder his entire life and what he's done in the outfield has been pretty remarkable," Sox Coach John Farrell said of Holt, who came up from his highlight play with a huge smile.

"That was a pretty fun catch for me," Holt told The Associated Press.

The Boston Herald's Scott Lauber asked Holt if it was the best catch Holt ever made.

“It's up there,” he told Lauber. “That one was fun. That one fired me up a little bit. I didn't think I was going to get to it, but got to it, made the jump, timed it pretty good, and I was able to come down with it. That was one of the better ones I've made.”

Holt, who usually plays the infield, started playing outfield in June. On Sunday, he played third base in the Sox 6-0 victory over Kansas City.

“Kind of can't believe I caught that,” Holt told Lauber. “Pedey (second baseman Dustin Pedroia) was laughing and smiling, so I gave him one back. That was a pretty fun catch for me, yeah.”
